How will one work on this form when they don't know how too or never were taught properly? Best thing I think is to have a mentor and let them watch you shoot then they won't spend endless time trying to figure things out on their own and get frustrated and spend endless time trying to do something that's not working for them.
When a shooter adapts bad habits or can't get things to work like from the videos they watch and think they can master it and cant. All the form in world isn't going to fix their bad habits until someone points it out to them what might be wrong then try to help them reverse it. That takes time not just a couple arrows. Might even take 500 or 1,000 arrows and who knows how hard and deep the bad habits could go that then resulted in TP.
If your a natural you may be able to shoot right away with no instruction or very little but if your the average guy and you just picked up a stick and started flinging arrows then your headed for trouble.
There's all sorts of ideas and yes chill out is valid and if you can then you will be more steady at the shot. Don't see a new shooter doing that it was a process the older shooter went through before they started hitting on a regular basis. Equipment matching yes is very important or it can be a hindrance and if you don't know the difference then you need to get that fixed and learn whats breaking down on you. A natural thing is to get frustrated. Just how old were you when you finally started chilling out Sam? If they are a young guy its going to take them time. It took many of us time and trial and many errors too I might add.
For the most part a archer will have to go through the steps and its not all about the form Sam, don't you think they need to back up and pick up the cart it just feel off the horse they forgot to attach the horse to the cart.
Your talking about your journey Sam and they have to get on their own journey when they begin. That's in the beginning part as they begin to learn and feel their way through things.
Get help from an archer who has been doing it a while and ask them to show you how to set up a bow and then shoot it.
You can't shoot one very well unless you know the bow and how to set it up and why this or that works.
Trust in the process as long as you have a teacher. It will help a beginner a great deal.
The same thing is when you become a killer finally one day you evolve. I'm not talking an animal here or there I'm referring to success one after the other and year after year. Its in most of us if you put your time in at it.
You have to put your time in at shooting as well again unless your a natural and there's not very many of those. They are out there I seen a couple but not many over the years.
There is a difference preaching to choir than teaching younger folks. Don't think they all could eat Mani from heaven when it came down the baby's could not they were still on the nipple. We need to be mindful of these things when there's so many inexperienced shooters out there trying to figure things out.
Just some ideers.
